TEARING ONE DOWN
“I'm his sister. His sister, okay? He told me he will take care of me forever.” Leah whined, a hint of anger showing on her face. “Not anymore. I will make sure he won't take care of anyone from now on. The harder you work in your already established company, the better for you.” Murong Wuque intoned, his pitch icy and scathing. Shi Wei looked at Murong Wuque from the dining table, then picked a chicken drumstick. “Is Alvin still alive? Legally, she's his closest relative.” “Not anymore.” Murong Wuque smiled broadly, his eyes lighting up. A rare sight. “Alvin's son is coming home. And when he does, I want to make sure that this place would be safe for him. I don't want any delusional person hanging around the child's inheritance.” Leah's face twisted into a mask of fury, disbelief and suspicion. Then despair. “My brother has a son? How come we've never heard of him?” “He's just a few weeks old. Alvin was going to retrieve him from the surrogate and bring him home before the lit
forfeit it all
The others didn't dare to butt in, no one knew when the roving sickle would strike. Or who it might strike next. “So this was it. The reason you came here making a ruckus, was for inheritance rights?” Oliver screeched. “What? Want to keep it all for yourself?” Murong Wuque smiled. “You have no relationship with Alvin, what makes you entitled to his sweat? Alvin was once a bartender, serving drinks in clubs before he rose through sheer grit and risking his life continually. What makes you think that you, a totally unrelated stranger, could swoop in and cart it away because you stayed with him for a few years?” Elena's face darkened, and she clenched her fists till her nails dug into her palm. “Is that also what our boss meant? He doesn't see us as family?” Murong Wuque almost kept quiet, but he knew attracting enemies for Alvin wouldn't bode well. “No. He trusts you all completely. Says you all make him feel the joy of a big family. But I don't think so. I think the reason you a
Hardened
Murong Wuque stared quietly at him, but his silence was more deafening than his rage. Qin Li hurried forward, and held Murong Wuque by the arm. “First brother, please calm down. There should be better ways to handle this.” Murong Wuque shot him a glare and he flinched. “If I wasn't being gentle he wouldn't be breathing here, whole, and glaring unrepentantly at me. At the very least, a few drops of blood should have been visible on his body.” “It wasn't me. I didn't do it.” Oliver insisted, his gaze unwavering. Qin Li quickly stepped forward with an awkward smile. “First brother, how about I handle the questioning? A few minutes perhaps.” Murong Wuque's face remained blank, everyone's eyes were fixed on him. Elena turned to Qin Li, her eyes pleading. Better him than Murong Wuque. If he does the questioning, Oliver would die and resurrect a good number of times before being freed. A torture worse than death. “You say it wasn't you, what about all the proof here?” Oliver turne
if he's dead, just say it.
Villa number sevenNow, most people no longer felt sorrow. Just irritation. Not being able to move around or do things they enjoyed…no one would be truly happy in such a situation. They were currently in the dining room for dinner, but no one had an appetite. Shi Wei hissed and slammed his fork on the table. He looked at Qin Li who was mechanically moving spoons of rice into his mouth. “Qin Li, it's been three days. I have things to do. When exactly can we resume our daily life?”Qin Li looked at Shi Wei and sighed. “If I knew that, would I be sitting here with you? Let's just eat for now. The food is getting cold.”“We can't stay indoors forever, you know.” Shi Meng Ying said hesitantly. Her stance in the family had always been shaky after the poisoning incident where Murong Wuque nearly tortured her to death. So she rarely spoke or created waves, to avoid breaking the fragile peace. But this was getting too much. She sighed and looked at Qin Li. “Hasn't your first brother said a
Leaving the safehouse
It took nearly four hours of constant work for Alvin and Murong Wuque to transform the child’s genes. They had gotten down to work immediately after breakfast. Even little Aurelio looked very exhausted like he just wanted to curl up and cry. They were currently in an underground lab in Murong Wuque's safe house, covered with multiple defense layers to ensure maximum concentration and protection during the process. Murong Wuque looked a bit tired. In just two days, he had rewritten heaven's will and defied fate twice. Bringing a dead Alvin back to life and altering a newborn baby's DNA constitution. Any of them was enough to attract the wrath of the heavens, but he was surprisingly still holding on. Giant tomes were laid out on tables, listing complex steps to merge bloodlines, adverse effects and how to minimize them. Alvin was hard at work at the testing machine. While the child lay on the table, almost sleeping off, Murong Wuque was almost falling off, lightly gripping the ta
Aurelio
By the time Alvin settled the child down, his eyes were tired and exhausted. Murong Wuque had washed the dirty clothes and sheets, scrubbed the bathroom till it sparkled, and wiped every inch of the room. Alvin only changed diapers, bathed the child, and fed him. Yet he seemed like he fought an incredibly exhausting battle. He looked even more tired now that he was rocking the child and singing lullabies. Murong Wuque gazed at him from where he was setting up a table for breakfast. As cultivators, they had no need for food. But eating was a habit Alvin had formed over the years, and like every other thing, Murong Wuque picked it up too. Eating was a good treat for the palette. He moved silently towards Alvin, and stood behind him. “Your son is truly troublesome.” Alvin smiled dotingly and kissed the tiny bundle in his arms. “He's not. He's a good kid.” Murong Wuque looked at the liquid on the baby's lips. “Still that same concentrate?” Alvin sighed. “I know right? Taking imm
